Misc. Notes
There seems to be some confusion concerning a father and son both named John Tidd (or some variation thereof). The entry below from Savage seems to combine the birth information for a son with the death information for a father. This requires further investigation.
According to Savage,
884 John Tead (or Teed, or Ted) of “Charlestown 1637, emb. 12 May of that yr. at Yarmouth, aged 19, as serv of Samuel Greenfield of Norwich, but perhaps was not desir. by his master to accomp. him, aft. reach. this side of the ocean, if, as seems prob. he be the person call. Todd, in Frothingham, p. 88, may have rem. aft. 1640 to Woburn, there was one of the true-spirited petnrs. to the Gen. Ct. 30 Aug. 1653 in fav. of liberty of proph. had w. Margaret, wh. d. 1651, and he d. 24 Apr. 1657. By his will made 15 days bef. we find he had sec. w. Alice, and ds. Mary, and Eliz., beside gr. ch. Benjamin, Hannah, and ano. d. of one Savil; and John and Samuel Savil, of ano. Thomas Fuller, and John Kendall, also a s. of his own name. See Tidd. Yet one of this name was propound. for freem. in 1664, tho. no more heard of.”
